Android exception thrown in 10.1.8

[LeoJHarris]

Java.Lang.NullPointerException: 'Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.app.Activity.requestPermissions(java.lang.String[], int)' on a null object reference'

Appears to be an exception being thrown when calling await _notificationService.RequestNotificationPermission().ConfigureAwait(false); I rolled back to 10.1.7 and it worked again.

Running an android emulator API 33 using XF 5.0.0.2478

Additional error log below

@LeoJHarris

LocalNotificationCenter.MainActivity = this;

Can you try setting it under Android on Create.

That fixes the issue. Thanks
